So which Kershaw & ZT knives do you consider "Must Have's"?
Post your top 3 (or as many as you'd like :)

I think everybody should have -

300 series ZT

Blur

Skyline
 
Those 3 are definites. I'll see your 3 and raise you

Leek
Zing(USA Made)
JYD
ZT 55x/56x(at least one Hinderer collab)
 
Agree with all except the JYD. I think it's downright ugly, but I hear lots of people love its smooth action
 
Not sure about "must have" for everyone...but I want a Volt.

Agree with these as well as the OP...although I'm not a fan of stud-only knives...give me a flipper knife or give me death.

In comparison to a knife like the 301 it feels a bit cheap and the proportions look a bit hinky. Still a nice knife...agree about being iffy about it on a "must have" list.
 
It's funny how my favorites kinda sneak out whenever someone asks about must haves. Once you get past the 100% definites, I look for something a little different. Like the subframe lock on the Knockout or the striations on the Groove. I think KAI has something for everyone.

Dang, and I almost bought one of those last time Amazon has their 15.00 off Kershaw deal. I wanted a Rake or JYD - Couldnt make up my mind so I bought an Echelon which I do not like...
 
There are no "same" must haves for everyone. Different people have different desires and tastes.

That being said, ZT0777, ZT 0551, Any Leek made by KAI.

Hehehe, Pool, I'll never be able to get the cool ones you have.

The tilt and 0777 are knives that I'll never be able to get :(

I had gotten out of guns / knives when they were offered. Oh well, something else cool will come soon. I might get a 0888
 
How about these:

G10 Leek
OD-1
Blur
566 (yeah I know its not out yet but its seems perfect)
Tyrade. This one is for me, make it an orange one please.

Lots of really cool offerings on the Horizon from KAI. I fear my bank account is in real jeopardy.
 
I love my rake, JYD2 composite, piston, and knockout......But have to say the new zt 0350brn is finding place in my heart
